Your challenge: Paint any of Karen Rice’s YouTube watercolor tutorials.  Her channel is packed with gorgeous, beginner‑friendly projects—misty landscapes, florals, cityscapes, seascapes… you name it. Take a scroll through her videos and pick the one that inspires you most: https://www.youtube.com/@KarenRiceArt
